2008年1月乌拉尔阻塞高压异常活动的分析研究

不少研究已经表明, 乌拉尔阻塞高压的持续活动对2008年1月中国南方雨雪冰冻灾害的发生有重要作用。本文针对2008年1月乌拉尔阻塞高压的异常, 利用NCEP再分析逐日环流资料、 哈德莱中心的海温资料等, 从对流层北极涛动(AO)、 平流层极涡(PV) 以及海温异常等几方面, 对2008年1月乌拉尔阻塞高压异常产生的原因进行了分析研究。结果显示, 虽然从以往多年情况来看, 前期AO及平流层极涡的异常很可能会导致其后乌拉尔阻塞高压发生异常, 然而就2008年1月的情况而言, 2007～2008年冬季对流层AO和平流层极涡的异常都不能成为异常乌拉尔阻塞高压产生和偏强的原因, 因为它们的关系与多年存在的长期关系相反。进一步的分析研究则显示, 2007年12月和2008年1月赤道太平洋的La Niña事件也对乌拉尔阻塞高压的活动没有明显影响; 而北大西洋海温正异常, 尤其是北大西洋副热带海温正异常的存在, 是2008年1月乌拉尔阻塞高压持续的重要外强迫因素。     

近几十年北半球孤立子阻塞和偶极子阻塞活动的对比研究

对1958—1997年美国NCEP逐日高度场再分析资料进行低通滤波,利用滤波后的资料统计分析了北半球的孤立子阻塞和偶极子阻塞的地理位置分布、年际变化、季节特点等,又对大西洋、太平洋和乌拉尔山地区3个阻塞多发地的孤立子阻塞和偶极子阻塞活动特点进行比较,发现偶极子阻塞的纬度主要活动带比孤立子阻塞偏北5~10个纬度;孤立子阻塞主要在大西洋地区和乌拉尔山区活动,偶极子阻塞主要发生在太平洋地区,无论孤立阻塞还是偶极子阻塞在60°W~140°W(即美洲地区)都是最少的;孤立子阻塞和偶极子阻塞都有明显季节变化,孤立子阻塞活动的纬度峰值区是春季、秋季和冬季一致,夏季最偏北;偶极子阻塞活动的纬度峰值区是夏秋季位置最偏南,冬季发生区最偏北。孤立子阻塞经度的季节性要比偶极子阻塞更显著,但夏季经度位置最偏东和冬季最偏西的特点一样;太平洋地区无论孤立子阻塞还是偶极子阻塞活动纬度区都比大西洋和乌拉尔山地区偏北5~10个纬度;孤立子阻塞和偶极子阻塞天数都是冬季最多,春季次之,孤立子阻塞天数夏、秋数量相差不多,秋季稍多,偶极子阻塞秋季最少;孤立子阻塞和偶极子阻塞都有逐年减少的趋势,两者具有相反的年际变化等一些有意义的结果。     

青藏高原表面过程对夏季青藏高压的影响--数值试验

利用IAP/LASGGOALS气候模式设计了两组敏感性试验,分别考察青藏高原表面感热输送和表面摩擦拖曳对夏季青藏高压的影响.结果表明,表面感热输送显著增强了高原近地层气柱中正涡度的制造和气旋性环流,同时增强了高原上空气柱高层的负涡度制造和反气旋性环流.另一方面,高原表面摩擦拖曳虽然使得低层的辐合略有增加,但施加给整层气柱以反气旋性涡度.因而高原表面的感热输送和表面摩擦拖曳对夏季青藏高压都有增强的作用.表面摩擦拖曳对上空环流的影响随着高度升高而减弱,而表面感热输送引起的高层负涡度的增加与低层正涡度的增加在数值上相当甚至更大.     

Numerical Study of Ural Blocking High’s Effect Upon Asian Summer Monsoon Circulation and East China Flood and Drought

In terms of Kuo-Qian p-sigma incorporated coordinate five-level primitive equation spheric band (70oN-30oS) model with the Ural high’s effect introduced into it as initial and boundary conditions, study is made of the high’s in-fluence on Asian summer monsoon circulation and dryness / wetness, of eastern China bated on case contrast and control experiments. Results show that as an excitation source, the blocking high produces a SE-NW stationary wavetrain with its upper-air atnicyclonic divergent circulation (just over a lower-level trough zone) precisely over the middle to lower reaches of the Changjiang River, enhancing East Asian westerly jet, a situation that contributes to perturbation growth, causing an additional secondary meridional circulation at the jet entrance, which intensifies the updraft in the monsoon area. As such, the high’s presence and its excited steady wavetrain represent the large-scale key factors and acting mechanisms for the rainstorm over the Chamgjiang-Huaihe River catchment in the eastern part of the land.     

冬季乌拉尔山月平均阻塞形势的统计分析和数值试验

根据冬季（１２，１，２月）乌拉尔山地区月平均阻塞形势集中出现的范围和强度定义了一个阻塞指数。相关分析表明：乌拉尔山月平均阻塞与中国月平均气温有较大的负相关关系；它和全球海表温度之间存在三个明显的高相关海区；北太平洋热带东部海区，北大西洋热带和中纬度海区以及阿留申群岛西南方的海区。应用两层原始方程谱模式，在以上３个海区上空加入理想的非绝热孤立热源强迫分别做数值试验。结果表明：３个海区上空的非绝热孤立     

NUMERICAL STUDY ON EFFECTS OF THE QINGHAIXIZANG PLATEAU ON FORMATION OF THE URAL BLOCKING HIGH

By employing the improved T42L5 spectral model and utilizing the ECMWF data covering the period from 1 Julyto 7 July 1982,a numerical research on the formation of the Ural blocking system has been made.The results show thatthe model forecasts for the upstream U ral area turn out to be worse if the dynamic effect of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateauis not considered.The correlation coefficient between the model forecasts and observed 500 hPa geopotential heightanomaly decreases by 9% for the 5-day mean,and their averaged root mean square (RMS) error increases 15 m.Due tothe dynamic effect of the Plateau,the trough being on the northwest of the Plateau is barricaded and turns to be atransversal trough.Consequently southwest flow occurs along the northwest of the Plateau in front of the trough,whilenortheast flow prevails over the west of the trough,causing the formation of the blocking high over the Ural area.Whenthe dynamic effect of the Plateau is not taken into consideration,the trough develops and moves southeastward and theUral blocking high changes into a migratory high.All these result in the failure of the simulation.The dynamic effect ofthe Plateau helps to increase the negative vorticities over the Plateau and its north periphery as well as the Ural area,andalso helps to increase the positive vorticities over the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea area.On the other hand,thethermodynamic effect mainly influences the Plateau and its downstream area and plays an less important role in theformation of the blocking high over the upstream Ural area.     

GPS time-series and its response to M S=8.1 Kunlunshan earthquake

In this paper, observation data in 25 GPS reference stations of China have been analyzed by calculating GPS position coordinate time-series with GIPSY. Result shows there is an obvious trend variation in such time-series. The trend variations of time series along the longitude and latitude coordinate reflect the motion of each position in the global-plate, in which the trend variation in the vertical direction reveals some large-scale construction information or reflects the local movement around the positions. The analysis also shows that such time-series have a variation cycle of nearly 1.02 a, but the reason still remains to be further studied. At the end of this paper, response of the time-series of M _S=8.1 Kunlunshan earthquake was analyzed, and the seismogenic process of M _S=8.1 Kunlunshan earthquake, according to the time proceeding and the feature of anomaly, was divided into 3 phases—changes in blocks with forces, strain accumulation, quick accumulation and slow release of energy. At the initial stage of seismogenic process of M _S=8.1 earthquake and at the imminent earthquake, coseismic process as well as during the post earthquake recovery, anomaly in vertical direction is always in a majority. The anomalous movement in vertical direction at the initial stage resulted in a blocking between faults, while at the middle stage of seismogenic process, the differential movement between blocks are in a majority, which is the major reason causing energy accumulating at the blocking stage of faults.

1991年夏东亚阻塞高压形成的诊断分析

文中将１９９１年夏季在东亚地区发生的阻塞高压分为发展期,旺盛期及衰亡期等３个阶段进行了细致的诊断分析。发现在东亚阻塞高压的第一、二阶段其上游有明显的波活动通量与２～６ｄ尺度的Ｅ矢量通量传播。即定常罗斯贝波的传播与天气尺度扰动的共同作用有利于东亚阻塞高压的维持。第一阶段西风气流的分支处有比第二阶段更为明显的南北向分布的涡动位势涡度的辐散辐合偶极子说明了天气尺度扰动给阻塞高压的发展提供了很重要的能源,显然天气尺度扰动在阻塞高压的发展阶段起着比旺盛阶段更为显著的作用。本文还注意到乌拉尔阻塞高压的崩溃与东亚阻塞高压形成的某些联系。     

ON THE MAINTENANCE OF BLOCKING ANTICYCLONES OF NORTHERN HEMISPHERE-PARTⅠ:QUASI-GEOSTROPHIC POTENTIAL VORTICITY ANALYSIS

Four observed blocking anticyclones in different regions of the Northern Hemisphere are investigated.Analyses show that there exist distinct differences in the maintenance of the time-mean quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity(PV) low in 300 hPa within blocking areas.In two Pacific blocking cases,the PV advection by time-mean flow tends to flow the PV low to northwestern part of the blocking highs,and thus is beneficial to the maintenance of the blockings'strength.The transfer by transient eddies acts to balance the effect of the time-mean flow.In the Atlantic and Alaska blocking cases,however,the advection of mean flow tends to flow the PV low eastward.The PV transfer by transient eddies acts to flow potential vorticity low to the western part of the blocking ridges and also to balance the time-mean flow's effect.Thus,in the latter two cases,it is the transfer by the transient eddies that acts to maintain the blockings.
